Destino Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hard to get excited about a draft pick when you just know Randy isn't going to play him next season. What I'm more curious about is what Ernie is going to do with Nene. Expiring deals are not something he tends to just sit by and watch come to their conclusion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I know it is stupid to draft on need, but only a PF will make me happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins199021 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 This pick should be very flexible for us. We could use a PF, but we could also really use a shooter off the bench If we took Portis, Grant, Vaughn, or Booker I'd be happy with the pick We really should try and be productive with our 2nd round pick as well, instead of our usual BS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Since his name is being thrown around a lot in mocks and a pre draft visit, heres a nice little scouting report on Portis for those that havent seen much of him.. https://youtu.be/OZSJbcrWE34 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Anyone else watch the finals thinking that Wittman was at home grumbling that Cleveland's defense was the real problem? I did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Cam Rose @CamRoseShow Jun 16 If Green opts in and Griz are willing to trade I'm told there won't be a shortage of suitors for the 6'9 SF. WAS and CHI have been mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Why would the grizzlies want to be rid of Green already? He seemed like a big acquisition for a team starving for offense. While the wizards need more scoring they need a star caliber addition not another role player. Wizards need to make a big move because the only goal should be to build something that can get past the Cavs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Green is a superstar playing in the Verizon Center. If we got him, at least you know he'd score 35 points a game on 80% shooting for 41 games a season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 This trade was proposed on realgm..... Washington Out: Nene, Porter, Blair, #19Washington In: JohnsonBrooklyn Out: Johnson, Plumlee, #29Brooklyn In: Batum, Nene, Blair #19Portland Out: BatumPortland In: Porter, Plumlee, #29, Cash ConsiderationsWashington gets a new SF to fill the shoes of Pierce - should he choose to retire, or opt out and go to another team. With Wall and Beal, this could be one of the scariest back courts in the league.Brooklyn gets a higher draft pick for Plumlee. And, they replace Johnson - one starting player with an expiring contract - for Batum and Nene - two starting players with expiring contracts. They create cap flexibility for 2016 without giving up all chances of playing pretty well in the Eastern Conference.Portland adds a little more depth to the roster, a second first round pick, and enough cap room to help the team maintain the rest of their starting line (Aldridge, Matthews, Lillard, and Lopez), and a rotation which could include: Kaman, Afflalo, McCollum, Leonard, Porter, Plumlee, and at least one or two more rotation players.

No Excuses Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Even Ernie wouldn't make that trade.The trade for Mike Miller and Randy Foye set the bar quite low. That JJ trade is remotely not as bad as that.I mean we lost out on the league MVP for one year rentals. Edited June 19, 2015 by No Excuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Yeah it's awful. The reasoning for Washington is nonsense. We get a SF to replace Pierce... By trading our only decent SF on the roster for a one year rental of a 33 year old SG. And give away our first round draft pick for our trouble? Lol. Not to mention Nene too, our starting PF with a large expiring contract. That's one of the worst ****ing armchair GM trades I've seen. I need to pop over to realgm to make fun of the person who proposed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Nene is a Wizard. He is our cross to bear. He's untradable... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aGsZwIvmREQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Nene is a Wizard. He is our cross to bear. He's untradable... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aGsZwIvmREQ he's no longer untradeable, he's an expiring contract now I just hope Ernie, and it will be Ernie because he our true cross to bear, doesn't take a bad deal just to get rid of him. At this point, I'd rather sit his ass on the bench and only use him when necessary than take back more salary for the wrong player in a deal.

Going Commando Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Nene is tricky to trade because he's worth a lot to us as an expiring connected to a quality player. We need the savings next summer. So we can only deal him for other expirings, or for small contracts to where we can still save a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBash Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Would anyone bring Nene back after next year? Obviously on a cheap deal. He would be a valuable big to come off the bench to play the 4 in 15 to 20 minutes a game. He may be ring chasing at that point so he may agree to a vet minimum deal with a team more equipped to win a title. But with Durant, he would probably be inclined to stay.

I'm inclined to say "Of course! For the right deal." I heart Nene but his value isn't currently worth his contract. I do believe though, that his first 2 years here were of great, great importance to this team. His leadership was instrumental in getting JW and BB to get serious about the NBA.

Going Commando Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 It's bumming me out that Trey Lyles has risen up into the lottery in a lot of places. He was my guy. Maybe Kaminsky will fall. I really like him for us too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I don't know what Wittman would make of Frank Kaminsky. He'd probably spend most of the next three years trying to get out of Randy's doghouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
